Where is My Son?


The women in this picture are very sad. They are carrying pictures of their sons, borthers and fathers. They haven't seen the men in the pictures for many years. Some of them have been in prison for up to 30 years.
The women in the picture live in a country called Palestine. It is a very poor country. They don't have good schools or hospitals.
Israeli soldiers come to their homes and arrest all the men there. They take them away to prison. The soldiers don't answer questions and they always use their guns to shoot everyone who try to stop them.
The women can't do any thing. They can't defend their husbands or fathers.
The Israeli soldiers use tanks to arrest these men. They fire their guns at Palestinians and kill many children.
The women in the picture want to have their men back. Some children have never seen their fathers. They all want one thing - to live in peace. That is their dream.
